Mr. Martin Glass (Hong Kong, China)
L IMPLEMENTATION OF PARAGRAPH 6 SYSTEM
241. The representative of South Africa commended the Chair for the stellar work he had done on the issue of paragraph 6. Being disappointed that Members had been unable to reach consensus, he urged all Members to do so expeditiously. Although he welcomed the suggestion of dedicating the second day of the upcoming Council for TRIPS meeting to the review of Paragraph 6, he considered essential some prior discussion on the issue. He therefore joined the delegation of India and others in calling for a dedicated workshop to be held, specifically engaging all stakeholders who might be relevant in implementing Paragraph 6 to its full potential.
